Study Notes

DEA Number Verification

  • DEA numbers are unique identifiers assigned to licensed medical professionals for the prescription of controlled substances.
  • The structure of a DEA number consists of two letters followed by seven digits.

Valid DEA Number Examples

  • John Doe, MD (AD0865937): Valid number

    • Calculation steps:
      • First, third, and fifth digits: 0 + 6 + 9 = 15
      • Second, fourth, and sixth digits multiplied by two: (8 + 5 + 3) x 2 = 32
      • Total sum: 15 + 32 = 47 (last digit matches)
  • Sally Nicholson, DDS (FN5623740): Valid number

    • Calculation steps:
      • First, third, and fifth digits: 5 + 2 + 7 = 14
      • Second, fourth, and sixth digits multiplied by two: (6 + 3 + 4) x 2 = 26
      • Total sum: 14 + 26 = 40 (last digit matches)

Invalid DEA Number Examples

  • Susan Johnson, MD (BJ6125346): Invalid number

    • Calculation steps:
      • First, third, and fifth digits: 6 + 2 + 3 = 11
      • Second, fourth, and sixth digits multiplied by two: (1 + 5 + 4) x 2 = 20
      • Total sum: 11 + 20 = 31 (last digit does not match)
  • Bill Smith, NP (FS8524614): Invalid number

    • Calculation steps:
      • First, third, and fifth digits: 8 + 2 + 6 = 16
      • Second, fourth, and sixth digits multiplied by two: (5 + 4 + 1) x 2 = 20
      • Total sum: 16 + 20 = 36 (last digit does not match)

Key Letter Functions in DEA Numbers

  • The first letter of a DEA number denotes the type of prescriber (e.g., MD, DDS, NP).
  • The second letter must correspond to the first letter of the prescriber's last name.
